You may be wondering what the PWR 2 requirement entails. Having completed PWR 1, perhaps you're curious about what more you might have learn about writing and rhetoric and what this sophomore year requirement has to offer. The goals of PWR 2 are as follows:

PWR 2 GOALS: In order to promote consistency between sections, all PWR 2 classes contain as their centerpiece a major research assignment consisting of several parts, some written and some oral. Components of the research project include a research proposal, a research-based essay, an oral presentation incorporating appropriate media support, and a final reflective piece on what students have learned about the effective presentation of research. The course requires 18-25 pages of revised writing and 16-20 minutes of revised presentations. Students revise each major assignment. In-class workshops are augmented by individual conferences with the PWR instructor and with Oral Communication Tutors.
